      Librera is great. A few pros:

      • half page display (to read one column at the time, a common layout in RPG rulebooks for example)
      • bookmarks
      • dark mode (pictures look funny but makes black-text-on-white into white-text-on-black)
      • tags and library management
      • autoscroll (I didn’t think I would like it until I tried)
      • for ebooks you can set your own color schemes (if you prefer yellow text on gray background for example)

        Redditors, that’s what the upvote button is for. No need for posting comments that are essentially just “^this”

        At least the other child comment is adding their 2¢ to the suggestions

            Parent-child is official terminology for tree structures, which appear a lot on computers (files, project branches, dependencies, structures like JSON and HTML, and yes, Reddit & Lemmy comments).

    I don’t know if muPDF Viewer is, technically, free software, but i use it for the completely minimal UI. You can only read and search, it’s very limited in a good way.

      It is, and you can get it on F-Droid. I like how quickly it loads while still having all necessary features.

      You only need Librera Reader if you want an ebook library manager with dozens of customizable features. In which case, get it on F-Droid to get all of them for free.

    I used to use MJ PDF, but recently switched to the built-in PDF reader for FOSS MiX file explorer.

    Graphenes PDF Viewer is a good option.

      Yeah, but It’s very robust and simplistic

    Add KDE’s repository to F-droid and download Okular.

    I haven’t been on Android in a few years but it looks like Librera Reader is still being maintained. Works great but somewhat large file size due to being a full-featured e-book/document reader rather than just PDF.

    It’s dead but it works. Don’t use on untrusted documents
